Yes, and I chuckle at it too, but I watch more baseball in an average year than any other team sport and was missing it. The play I have seen so far looks better than usual for early season and the Covid thing will play hell with the odds makers, as not only injury list but newly infected and out for a number of weeks if they survive and come back this season at all adds uncertainty. Gutsy move getting on planes and doing all that travel in these time. Sport channels viewership is way way up since season start. America wants team sports if it can be done without killing the country.Watched 4 games in last 2 days. I like the ones with the cardboard cutouts and crowd noise that is coordinated to go along with the play. Understand, if you are willing to put out the money you can be one of the cutouts, which might be kind of cool. If you are going to put on a show, SELL IT! Good marketing will out.MLB selling shirts to raise $$$ for BLM and BLM stenciled on pitcher's mound. Makes me want to vomit. Why don't they just burn an American flag before the game and raise money for Chinese People's Army?![]()
MLB to unveil Black Lives Matter logo on mound
A Black Lives Matter/MLB stencil will appear on the pitcher's mound during opening weekend games, beginning Thursday when the Nationals take on the Yankees in Washington.www.espn.com
Not to thrilled with the kneeling BS. Should protest on their own time if they do not like the country making them rich. Saw some fat black guy (I think Giants game) trying hard honest effort, but butchering the National Anthem. Wasn't a smart ass parody thing like Rosanne pulled that time, either. You got to wonder about who picks out these singers sometimes and if they are in the right line of work.
The games with cardboard cutouts and piped in noise reminds me of British comedy shows. I only saw it on news clips.
I watch baseball, tennis, Formula 1 racing, and figure skating.
Formula 1 started a couple of weeks ago and has had two races already. Louis Hamilton is already leading in the points standing and lead the race from pole to flag last week. I've set my PVR to record the Hungarian Grand Prix tomorrow.
Hamilton is set to surpass Michael Schumacher as the all time winningest driver, this season, but it's been so boring watching him the past couple of seasons and I say this as a long-time Hamilton fan. Hamilton was wearing a Black Lives Matter shirt last week so there's another sport Bush can't watch.
There's also live tennis on tomorrow but it's a the "Ultimate Tennis Showdown" between two players I've never heard of. Better than nothing, I guess.
The Blue Jays will be playing their "home games" in Buffalo, since there is no way Canada is letting ANY Americans in until you get the crud under control. I live less than 50 miles from Buffalo, but the border is closed, and there are no fans in the stands anyway.
Figure skating cancelled this year's World Championships which were to be held in Montreal during the last week in March. Last week they cancelled the Junior Grand Prix series - 8 international competitions with the top skaters going on to Grand Prix Final in Decembe. The senior Grand Prix, scheduled to start with Skate America in Las Vegas in late October, has not been cancelled, but all international events up to the end of September have been cancelled.
